To find the origins of this fine product, we need to go way back to 1993.
It was a dark & stormy night. Fate rested on the roll of the dice. Who would win, who would lose. Who would stay, who would go. The atmosphere was tense, palpable, you could cut it with a knife.
In a dark, dusty corner of the local pub in Bundaberg, a man was living on the edge. Down to his last note, a pocketful of change, and rolling the dice in a last ditch bid to break the shackles.
The barman, startled by the intensity of his gaze, offered him a drink. "You could use one buddy". The man, wouldn't speak, just a raise of the eyebrow in acknowledgment. The barman knew that just a regular drink wouldn't cut it. He thought back to his days on the high seas, when the sailors would be rolling the dice of their own. He remembered the mix, the only drink that could cut through an atmosphere this thick.
He mixed it up. He slid it across the bar. The player stopped it with the slightest of movements. He took a sip. His eyes lit up. He knew exactly what to do.
